NEW YORK, Aug 07, 2013 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- --Combination of <a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/companies/AOL?lc=int_mb_1001" class="mandelbrot_refrag">AOL</a> On Network and Adap.tv Will Create the Most Powerful Cross-Screen Solution for Brands, Agencies and Publishers 
AOL Inc. <a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/AOL" class="plainsymbol">AOL</a> +2.20% today announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire Adap.tv, Inc., a leading global, programmatic video advertising platform for the world's largest brands, agencies, and publishers.
Adap.tv brings to AOL:
-- The only complete global programmatic video technology stack for publishers and advertisers across all screens;
-- A unified yield management platform for advertisers and publishers for planning, targeting, adserving and measurement;
-- One of the fastest growing platforms on the internet, having grown global revenue over 100% per year in each of the last three years;
-- Wide adoption by the largest global advertisers and publishers, including 83 of the Ad Age 100 and 70 of the comScore 100; and
-- A talented team which has driven innovation in the automation of global video advertising.
The combination of AOL On and Adap.tv will give AOL a unique end-to-end solution and video stack for publishers and advertisers - from premium original production, to content aggregation and syndication platforms, robust video CMS technology, and now a leading programmatic video platform.
The strength of Adap.tv's comprehensive platform and team has enabled its rapid expansion, resulting in a large and growing customer base of publishers and advertisers. In 2012, Adap.tv supported more than 26,000 global ad campaigns, which ran on approximately 9,500 websites and was used by many top brand advertisers.
AOL has invested heavily in the digital video space by focusing exclusively on premium content and premium publishers. This investment has propelled the AOL On Network to No. 2 in monthly content video views in the U.S. for nine of the last 12 months*.
"AOL is a leader in online video and the combination of AOL and Adap.tv will create the leading video platform in the industry," said Tim Armstrong, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AOL. "The Adap.tv founders and team are on a mission to make advertising as easy as e-commerce and the two companies together will aggressively pursue that vision.
"Two trends are prevalent in the video space right now - the movement from linear television to online video and the shift from manual transactions to programmatic media buying. Adap.tv is positioned squarely in front of the huge opportunity these trends are presenting," said Armstrong.
"At Adap.tv, we are focused on building the most important business within the most important category in digital advertising," said Amir Ashkenazi, CEO, Adap.tv. "We believe that most TV advertising will soon be traded programmatically on platforms like ours. The combination of AOL and Adap.tv accelerates our vision of efficient and effective TV and video advertising."
Adap.tv will operate independently as part of AOL's video organization which is led by Ran Harnevo, SVP, Video, and be included as part of the overall solution offered by AOL Networks to its publisher and advertiser partners. AOL Networks, under the leadership of recently named CEO Bob Lord, partners with leading publishers, advertisers and agencies seeking to maximize the value of their online investments. AOL Networks brands include Advertising.com, The AOL On Network, Be On, ADTECH and Pictela.
The purchase price will total $405 million in aggregate and will be comprised of approximately $322 million in cash consideration, and approximately $83 million in AOL common stock, subject to certain adjustments. The closing is subject to customary closing conditions, including expiration of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. The boards of directors of both companies have approved the transaction, and the stockholders of Adap.tv have approved the transaction. AOL expects to close the acquisition in the third quarter of 2013.

AOL Buys Adap.Tv For $405 Million

By Harinder Mishra(Eds: Updating with more inputs; background) Jerusalem, May 17 () Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday announced that a new government led by him will be sworn-in with a pledge of Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank to "write another glorified chapter in the history of Zionism".On Wednesday, Netanyahu, 70, announced that he has succeeded in forming a unity government in letters sent to President Reuven Rivlin, and Blue and White party Chairman Benny Gantz, who was temporarily serving as the speaker of Knesset (Israeli Parliament)."It's time to apply the Israeli law and write another glorified chapter in the history of Zionism," Netanyahu, who last year in July became Israel's longest serving Prime Minister surpassing David Ben-Gurion, said ahead of the swearing-in.The government was to be sworn-in on Thursday but internal squabbles in the ruling Likud party over ministerial claims postponed it.The new government, which according to the coalition agreement, will see Gantz replace Netanyahu as Prime Minister after 18 months on November 17, 2021, as the per power-sharing deal.Netanyahu would then acquire the title of "Alternate Prime Minister", something that Gantz would now enjoy while also being the Defence Minister."The time has come for anyone who believes in the justness of our rights in the Land of Israel to join a government led by me to bring about a historic process together," Netanyahu said on the Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank.The issue is "on the agenda" only because I acted on it personally," he stressed, saying he pushed for it for three years, publicly and covertly.Dismissing claims that it will harm the efforts to strike a peace deal with the Palestinians, the hawkish Israeli leader emphasised that on the contrary it will promote the chances."These regions are the cradle of the Jewish people. It is time to extend Israel's law over them. This step won't bring us further away from peace, it will get us closer. The truth is, and everyone knows it, that the hundreds of thousands of settlers in Judea and Samaria will always stay put in any future deal," Netanyahu said.The vast majority of the international community considers Israeli settlements in the region to be illegal under the international law, and as such stands against the proposed annexation of the area and other areas of the West Bank, such as the fertile Jordan Valley.However, Israel's close ally the US has pledged to support the move as part of its "Deal of the Century" peace proposal unveiled earlier this year. The plan backs Israel's annexation of most Israeli settlements and the Jordan Valley as long as it enters into peace negotiations with the Palestinians.The European Union's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said on Friday that the bloc would use "all our diplomatic capacities" to try to dissuade Israel from going ahead with the move.Some analysts have said that the annexation could prompt a break-down in the 1994 peace treaty signed between Israel and its neighbour Jordan. A former minister of Jordan, Marwan al-Muasher, during a webinar last week, did not rule out the possibility of his country walking out of the historic agreement if Israel moves ahead with unilateral annexation.According to the Netanyahu-Gantz pact, the government can begin moves to implement the Trump administration's peace plan from July 1."There will be no peace with occupation and apartheid", an Arab lawmaker, Yousef Jabareen, said.Netanyahu praised the US' support for the move, but added that "Israel should rely only on itself to defend itself".He also claimed that the unity government between him and Gantz avoided a fourth round of elections, which would have threatened the government's response to the coronavirus crisis."The majority of the public is glad to accept a unity government. The public wants a unity government, and that's what the public is getting today," he said.He also pointed out that his Likud party "received the highest number of votes a party ever received in the history of the country".Netanyahu was constantly booed by the Opposition members who shouted, "election fraud" and "pathological liar" while he spoke.The government with 32 ministers initially will swell to 36 in six months, making it the largest government in the Jewish state's history. Prominent ministerial appointments include Gabi Ashkenazi (Blue and White party) as foreign minister, Israel Katz (Likud) as finance minister, Avi Nissenkorn (Blue and White party) as Justice minister and Likud Yuli Edelstein (Likud) as health minister.Netanyahu's close confidante Amir Ohana, currently serving as interim Justice Minister, is expected to receive the public security portfolio, which oversees law enforcement.During his tenure as justice minister, Ohana repeatedly attacked the judiciary and those leading it as they pushed forward with criminal investigations, and eventually indictments, against Netanyahu.Netanyahu has denied any wrongdoing and his trial is set to start later this month.Ohana's possible appointment as public security minister has sparked speculation among top police officials that he may oppose possible new probes against Netanyahu.The beleaguered Israeli Prime Minister managed to hold on to his right-wing bloc amid three inconclusive polls to force his main rival Gantz to finally succumb to the demand of a broad national unity government.
